The New South Wales police have spoken in response to former NRL player Jarryd Hayne's conviction on two counts of sexual assault

He committed the crime on a woman at her Newcastle home two-and-a-half years ago.

After three days of deliberating, a jury has found the 33-year-old guilty.

Hayne's been found not guilty of the more serious charge of aggravated sexual assault while recklessly inflicting actual bodily harm.

Here's Detective Superintendent Stacey Maloney of the New South Wales police.



Hayne's been granted a 50-thousand dollar bail and will be sentenced on May 6.
